August

There are many advantages of pruning in the summer – it can be done in several stages up to the end of August. We recommend pruning in dry weather so that the cut edges dry up more quickly and heal better.

A healthy green lawn gives the garden a cared for and fresh look. However, grass has a hard time in summer due to the hot temperatures and high humidity. Here are some useful tips for looking after your lawn this month.

The summer garden is a favourite for gardeners to enjoy with all the cheerful colours and scents around. Your garden or patio serves as a summer lounge where you can enjoy the long warm evenings to the full. Overcast days are perfect to get on top of little chores that will prolong the abundance of flowers.

August is generally thought of as the holiday month, so make time to visit some gardens open to the public. Not only will you enjoy seeing other people’s concepts, you will also find ideas to suit your own plot, regardless of how large or small it is. Keep on top of regular jobs, though, preventing them piling up as September will be a much busier time for the gardener.
